This course is designed to give engineers practical information about how optical components (lenses) are made and tested, and provide basic tools to create cost-effective optical system designs. Topics covered include optical material properties, grinding, polishing, CNC programming for optical fabrication, modern fabrication technologies, surface testing and fabrication tolerances. We will discuss case studies of challenging fabrication projects for leading-edge optical systems. The accompanying lab will use the facilities of the Hopkins Center fabrication and metrology labs to introduce polishing and metrology techniques. Lab exercises will include hands-on experiments, such as exploring the properties of optical materials, measuring the removal function of a sub-aperture polishing and grinding machines, and characterizing the surface form and texture of polished surfaces.

This course focuses teaching the multidisciplinary aspects of designing complex, precise systems. In these systems, aspects from mechanics, optics, electronics, design for manufacturing/assembly, and metrology/qualification must all be considered to design, build, and demonstrate a successful precision system. The goal of this class is to develop a fundamental understanding of multidisciplinary design for designing the next generation of advanced instrumentation. This course open to graduate students in engineering and physics backgrounds although it has a strong emphasis on mechanical engineering and systems engineering topics. This course is open to undergraduates who are in their senior year.

This course is intended as an overview to the design and analysis of illumination systems along with an introduction to the use of Light Tools software. The classes alternate between lectures on an illumination topic, which includes many examples, and a working lab learning skills in Light Tools. The Lecture/Labs would be complimentary so that the skills developed in using the software reinforce the topics covered in the Lectures.
